Albania's Socialist Party heading towards a landslide victory

June 26, Triana: An exit poll by Italy's IPR Marketing has shown that Albania's ruling Socialist Party is cruising towards a victory on Sunday's parliamentary election with between 45 and 49 percent of votes, which could secure them a majority of the seats in parliament.

"The Socialist Party might have won more than 71 seats (in the 140-seat parliament), but this is still an opinion not a certainty," IPR Marketing's Antonio Noto said.

The two biggest parties are seeking a majority in a parliamentary election that follows a landmark agreement between the country's two biggest political parties to back efforts to secure European Union membership.
